BOYS BASKETBALL | PROVISO WEST TOURNAMENT

The first 3-point attempt was all net, the kind that can justifiably lead to several others.

Frank Kaminsky opted not to settle the next time he found himself alone, instead putting the ball on the floor before finding a teammate for an uncontested layup.

There's no telling how many points the Wisconsin-bound 7-footer could score if that was Benet's primary focus, but the Redwings have another goal in mind.

Kaminsky scored 14 points while Northwestern-bound David Sobolewski had 18 and Matt Parisi 15 as No. 4 Benet moved a victory closer to the championship showdown the Proviso West Tournament wants to see with a 64-42 victory against New Trier in the second round Tuesday in Hillside.

Benet (12-0) will take on either No. 8 Hillcrest or Morton in a semifinal Wednesday, with No. 3 Morgan Park and Louisville-bound Wayne Blackshear looming on the other side of the bracket.

"I don't worry about how many points I score," said Kaminsky, who was 5-for-9 from the floor and 3-for-4 from the line. "We put shooters on the floor. I know I can find someone open who has a better shot than me.

"We still have one more game to win, and they (Morgan Park) still have to win too. We'll think about them when the time comes."

Sobolewski had nine assists and seven rebounds to go along with his game-high point total, while Kaminsky and sophomore Pat McInerney (12 points) had three assists apiece.

Benet had 18 assists on its 24 field goals.

"When we have 18 assists," Sobolewski said, "it's a good day."

Connor Boehm had 17 points and 11 rebounds for New Trier (6-6).

Player of the game: David Sobolewski, Benet, 18 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds.
